get the results you planned.

The 3×2 Method is the Upswing Group’s proprietary strategy, planning and execution framework. It is a simple, thorough and effective method of creating and executing better plans for your business, distilling best-of-breed thinking and pragmatic experience. It’s based on what we call the Six Steps to better business performance.

Any plan needs three things to be successful:

• Clarity – everyone understands the plan
• Commitment — everyone wants the same results, and will walk through walls to deliver them
• Accountability — everyone knows who’s doing what, and who answers for what

The Six Steps to better business performance address each of those crucial requirements.

• Treat planning and execution as parts of a single activity
• Involve every employee in the creation of the plan
• Simplify your plan. Boil it down to one page with the 3×2 Planning Grid
• Communicate your plan as a great story
• Personalize the plan for every employee
• Use the 3×2 Planning Grid to implement and monitor progress – weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually
